Grand Lake High School’s Josh Fitkin secured a grant in the amount of $99,141 for the Switch Lab class to be offered at GLHS beginning in the 2025-26 school year! This course will allow students to build an electric vehicle!

The Switch Lab EV is a fully functional electric vehicle that empowers students to build, wire, diagnose, and program an EV while practicing low and high voltage safety procedures. This class will offer a high-impact project that challenges students to build, test and drive an electric vehicle as an educational project.

The Switch Lab EV is the perfect workforce development tool for educators to teach hands-on EV fundamentals, and designed using a component-agnostic approach, it prepares students for careers in electric vehicle technologies.
